The Husk Queen is the first book in the fantastic series titled The Vessel Fables.

Its pages introduce us to the world of Aoān and the land of The Havens, where a young Orc named Arsu Ne’Jia finds herself stuck in a world torn apart by religious tradition and Human greed. Arsu, her brother Nedri, and her dear friend Deusma are pulled in every direction but the one in which they wish to travel. A desire for normalcy and safety yearns for its place, but powers beyond are ceaseless and unbound. Arsu must tread a difficult path on a dangerous journey to uncover her own mysterious powers while destroying every oppressive force in her way, both physical and ethereal. On this adventure, they will face many challenges, find love and friendship, and discover the beauty and wonder of Aoān.
